Jizzlobber

First of all, TreAdos: The keyboard player (Roddy Bottum) is gay, not the bass player. And Bottum wrote the lyrics to Be Aggressive, not Patton (he even said that he wrote it, because he thought that it would be funny to make a straight singer sing about gay oral sex!).

Secondly, Patton has said that the song Jizzlobber is about his fear of going to jail. While he didn't elaborate, I assume (based on the lyrics) that he is afraid of getting raped. The beginning of the song seems to be him pleading to a police officer, and trying to get out of going to jail (he's willing to make a commitment, he's willing to make love to concrete). Him hiding his dirty minutes (the time spent getting raped) under his dirty mattress (mattresses are dirty in jail), is him trying to forget about what happened. He feels dirty after getting raped (my skin is soot, I spend my days scrubbing, etc.).

I think this song is about someone who is sexually frustrated. Someone who masturbates a lot and does sexually devious things and is ashamed of it. "Jizz" means semen, "Lobber" is someone who abuses something physically.

To me it sounds more like its about a guy who has committed a crime of some sort, and he's wishing it never happened ("I'm trying so hard to act like nothing happened").

People are accusing him of this crime("They will sum it all up in a sentence"), and people just think of him as his crime like a murderer for example("I AM WHAT I'VE DONE").

He's trying to live with the crime he's committed which was only a few minutes("dirty minutes"), but the guilt is eating away at him ("I hide my dirty minutes under the dirty mattress and they are making me itch").

I could be totally reading this out of context though, but I dont think the title of the song has much to do with the meaning unless its something to do with this 'crime'. Thoughts?

Anyone ever seen Silence of The Lambs?

Remember Miggs, the nutjob in the cell next to Hannibal Lector who swallowed his tongue?

Remember the scene where he throws his sperm onto Jodie Foster through his cell bars?

Following on from this reference, I think this song is about a guy in an sylum/prison for rape or murder and going even nuttier inside. And lobs some Jizz around too.

I think what opaldrake said is most close to correct. Someone said later that Patton wrote this about his fears of jail; which by analysis of this song probably have to do with never being able to make love to a woman again. I don't see anything about rape throughout all of it. "They will sum it all up in a sentence a verdict made by those who know I'm willing to make a commitment I'm willing to make love to concrete" I think there should be a colon at the end of the second line, because the first two lines seem to be about his prosecutors and the making love to concrete part seems to be about his interpretation of the words of "those who know." Basically, the way he sees his commitment is that he will have nothing to make love to but concrete. "Smiles Bruises Smiles Bruises Bars in the womb" This is expressing Patton's self-assuredness waxing and waning, or him having on-and-off trouble with authority as the days count down until he ends up in jail; "bars in the womb." So his fear is probably, most realistically, never being able to have intercourse with a woman again. The next line seems clearly to me about masturbating, in a jail cell. "I hide my dirty minutes under the dirty mattress and they are making me itch. My time is spilt milk." "My skin is a layer of soot I'm spending my days scrubbing" He's trying to wash away the shame of masturbating, But no matter how hard he washes, he still feels dirty (as someone else said) "I'm trying so hard to act like nothing happened (no one left to blame) I'm trying so hard to find that fresh clean smell (no one left to blame) I think this is where he begins to mix up his uncleanliness with the intensity of his actual crime. "I'm trying so hard to act like nothing happened" and "no one left to blame" seem to hint at this.

"Cruel words sleep above me mounting and teasing" OK, this line is the only one which for me slightly relates to rape. They could be his own confused conscience teasing himself or there could actually be someone sleeping above him, and mounting and teasing could refer to rape. Maybe it's the superficial side of his fear. (or maybe he really was raped, if he even went to jail, who knows)

"I am what I've done I'm sorry...sorry..."

He feels as though he's being punished for or by, not being able to have a woman, his only pleasure is masturbation etc. In this way he feels like he's learned his lesson "I'm sorry, sorry.. etc cue the organ music, he's come to an epiphany, he's come to terms with himself, he's sick of being this; ironically it probably has nothing to do with his actual crime in reality. (I believe the organ music represents his inner-apocalypse, the apogee of his inner fear; it's hell to him).

we all know the song is about camping. if we knew what it was all about then there would be no fun left in the world.. i get the feeling its about boy at summer camp, and he gets violated by the counselor.

I think MrTragedy is on to something. 'Dirty minutes' could be some kind of reference to porn mags. They're usually kept under mattresses. There's loads of different ways of referring to male masturbation. One of them's "Shaking hands with the one-eyed milkman", which could uncover the meaning of the line 'My time is spilt milk' (i.e. spilt semen). "My skin is a layer of soot. I'm spending my days scrubbing" is probably something to do with the idea that occasionally you do something that makes you feel so dirty that no matter how hard you scrub in the shower, you still feel as though the 'dirt' is still on. You're not actually covered in dirt, you just feel as though you shouldn't have done what you did and are trying to clense yourself. It's usually after doing something that isn't socially acceptable, such as excessive masturbation. That's the rant over with, now for the good stuff. Jizzlobber is such a cool title...

I think it's along the lines of what Mr T. suggested about it basically being directly about masturbation , excess masturbation or some other sad sexual vice .... but more than that it may be getting at what's behind all that....feeling unable to control oneself, feeling to weak to overcome vices of the flesh, desperation .....and the beautiful ending is saying these addictions of the flesh are a tragedy, a waste of a holy spirit, but even despite the dirtyness and bruising the spirit remains beautiful and holy.

This song is about someone who feels guilty about masterbation. And in the end he is either talking to himself...or has been caught

Good theories, but that doesn't explain the "Smiles" "bruises" and, most cryptic, "bars in the womb". It may be because spilled semen, such as masturbation, leads to no new life in the womb, hence masturbating creates bars in the womb, perhaps. Or, perhaps the reference is to the fact that if he is incarcerated, then he will never have sex with a woman again, i.e., there are bars in his prison cell that act like "bars" in the "womb" by preventing sexual access to a woman. He is resigned to this fate when he says "I am willing to make love to concrete", that is, his sexual desires will be frustrated by the concrete prison of his cell. "My time as spilt milk" may simply mean no one will miss him or care that he is jailed, i.e., no one cries over spilt milk like himself. "Smiles. Bruises" perhaps refers to a normal prison experience on the surface, but that other prisoners or guards are meting out extra justice to him behind the scenes. What "cruel words sleep above me, mounting and teasing" refers to is obscure at this juncture.
